What it is Filled
One party or collective stake relationship to an organization, project, decision or impact. Interest, affectedness, influence, rights, representation and engagement assertions stay distinct. This is not a person profile or an instruction to influence people.
In scope
- Scoped stakeholder identity and source-qualified identification
- Attributed interests, impacts, representation and participation conditions
- Engagement-response references, revision, confidential stewardship and mappings
Out of scope
- Party identity, equity ownership, political or personality profiling
- Contacting stakeholders, persuading individuals or executing engagement/grievance workflows
- Inferring consent, assigning legal rights or universally ranking people
Why it exists Filled
Describe who has an attributed stake in a subject, how they are affected, represented and heard, with safeguarded evidence.
Distinguishing features Filled
- A stake relationship between a party and a subject, not a profile of the person or group.
- Keeps interest, affectedness, influence, rights and representation as separate assertions.
- Differs from an ownership or shareholder record: a stake need not be financial.
- Differs from an engagement or grievance process, which it references but does not run.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Profile stakeholders politically or by personality.
- Contact or persuade stakeholders based on the register.
- Rank people's rights by their influence.
- Infer consent or representation from inclusion in the register.
- Delete dissenting views from the record.
Only with a human decision
- Deciding stakeholder priority for engagement.
- Confirming who legitimately represents a group.
- Disclosing stakeholder identities outside the project.
May
- Record a stated or attributed interest with its source.
- Identify gaps in a stakeholder register, such as unrepresented affected groups.
- Link engagement responses to the interests they address.
- Export a minimized projection for a declared purpose.
Moral aspects Filled
- Vulnerable and less powerful groups are easy to omit; omission is itself a harm.
- Stakeholder registers can be misused to target critics and activists.
- Representation claims can silence the people represented if not checked.
Who is affected
- Affected communities and individuals
- Representatives and civil society groups
- Project owners and decision makers
Owners Filled
Steward
Declare stakeholder-data owner and steward.
Roles
- Dimension owner
- Defines purpose and delegated scope.
- Stakeholder-data steward
- Maintains scope, attribution and review obligations.
- Contributor
- Records authorized minimal expressed or observed evidence.
- Reviewer
- Checks representation disputes, gaps and bias in assessments.
- Custodian
- Enforces disclosure, retention and evidence-reference controls.
Links to other meta-models Filled

- WM-ORG-001 - Proposed organization reference when it is party or subject; other party/subject masters use typed references, not invented IDs.

- https://www.globalreporting.org/publications/documents/english/gri-2-general-disclosures-2021/ - Candidate engagement-reporting alignment, not complete GRI conformance.
- https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/ - Candidate provenance of interest assertion, not stakeholder entitlement.
neighbor
- Organization and person/group masters - A stakeholder role exists relative to a subject; do not remaster the party.
- Ownership or influence - Stake does not mean shares, control or power; low influence does not remove affectedness.
- Representation and consent - Recorded mandate is scope-bound and contestable; attendance or silence does not establish consent.
- Engagement and grievance workflow - Reference events, responses and commitments without executing communications or disposing concerns.

Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Retaliation against stakeholders whose dissent is exposed.

- Manipulative engagement driven by influence scores.
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- ISO 26000 social responsibility guidance.
- AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard.
- GRI 3 Material Topics.

- World Bank guidance is June 2018 first edition and non-mandatory; latest revisions and full boxed standards are not exhaustively reviewed.
- Role/impact-specific profiles, approved composition ledger edges and independent review remain pending.
